I wanna be better in all things. It's easy for teachers to get stuck and comfortable in patterns and activities that are completely legitimate but perhaps have become stale and even ineffective. Throughout the semester I've asked that you work hard to prepare for the AP Language and Composition test. I taught to the test. I'm sorta fine with that. As I've said, I believe that the skills the test assesses are important and some of the most important skills you will develop in your lifetime - the ability to think, process, synthesize, and argue.
To that end I've tried to develop every assignment to focus on one element of the test and hone those skills required for success. Now that you've taken the test - multiple tests (ACT, PSAT, AP) what suggestions do you have?
I'm not asking for what you "liked" or what was "fun" but rather what was effective. I know not everything connected with everyone and with 100+ students I will get a plethora of responses. Though I am asking for honesty I'm not asking for a tongue-lashing nor do I expect "all sunshines and rainbows." I know I'm flawed but I also know that I am effective. I want to minimize my flaws and increase my effectiveness. I need your help to do that.
